Don't forget that even the online shops are generally SOMEBODY's LQS.
Whether online or local-brick-and-mortar, both stores still employ real workers and put money into their local economies.
Though we sell online, we are open for local customers to shop in person, and we even get visitors from across the border in Canada. And for our online customers, they know that they can always call us and ask whether the fabrics they're considering work well together. We're very good at giving friendly color advice!
